I don't know what the future is doing for our world, so I decided to To take a step back and to see everything unfold … Yes, I think I have become a refugee out of life these days.

He continued: “The song Rocks and the lyrics are self -explanatory. How many songs I wrote came to me late at night. Inspiration and pure stream of consciousness were always the best formula for me. This classic Dokken Sound … a great song to blow when you drive down the highway. “

In September 2023, Dokken published the music video for the second single of the LP, “Gypsy”.

Dokken Said about the track: “While we were writing the new record, we had written a lot of music, but sometimes I stuck with the texts, so I decided to go camping. I came across a woman who was wearing many necklaces and jewelry. She was wearing. Was an old car with a horse and she put it in a hole. I was fascinated by it, so we sat there for a few hours and talked very old and told me about her life that lived in the reservation, and I told her and I told her and I told her and I told her that she told her life and I told her, and I told her and I told her that we told her to her, and I told her that we did it told about my life, which I found funny because they seemed to be lost, but it was not pitch black. . “

Don In conclusion: “I took my Jack out of my truck and raised her car. We both collected a lot of stones and filled the hole so that she couldn't get on her car anymore, and then it just went away and started without saying one Word, but then she shouted back to me and said: “The sun is coming up … you have to go, the koyotes and mountain Lions will soon hunt” … very clever advice.

Do you want to rock? Despise your teeth in “Refugee”The some shimmering guitar work with the kind approval of more than 20-year-old member drives Jon LevinAnd if you want to ballad, go on to “I will never give up”hang on this Colosseum choir, Levin lay down a pioneering solo. The pattern of “The sky comes down” Never stalled to deliver the goods on both sides of the fence. “Like a rose” Brings the Pacific coastal highway with its smooth, effortless gears and in Desert Plain and brings “Save grace” bears mystical malice. But “Santa Fe” Maybe the most revealing with Don Dokken Opening with a “lifestyle biography”: a Spartan acoustic arrangement that enables the rich but street -driven singing to framework DokkenCareer.

Accordingly Don15 songs were recorded for “The sky comes down”With the original plan to include everyone in the LP.

“When I write records, I don't just think: 'Okay, we need 10 songs or 11.' I always write 20 per album and then you choose the best, “he explained Tulsa Music Stream. “And sometimes you write a song and I think: 'Oh, that's great.' And it is good that I had a recording studio in LA, so it didn't cost me and I would write and write. So you get an idea and think, it will go and suddenly it just didn't pay off.

“I'm very proud of the record, but then I gave it to the label … I had only written three songs in the past that never made it and I played guitar,” he said. “And I wanted this on the plate because I am now crippled, I can no longer play a guitar. I said: 'At least they have never heard of the album on the latest … Most of the record companies, they want 15 songs or 16 Songs like Metallica Albums. And he says: “We can only set 10.” I go: “But these were the old days of vinyl.” They could only say – I can't remember; I think it's a page for 40 minutes or something like that. So I said: 'But these are good songs. I want her on the recording '. Why do you want to withdraw four good songs? And they said: “Well, maybe we will add the street like a bonus album”. “. … 'You' and you accidentally selected the ones on which I played guitar and Jon [Levin, DOKKEN guitarist] Played Soli. And I think they didn't like them … What did my record company say? “You are too Grungy.” And I went 'Grungy? Well, they are old. 'But it wasn't as if they were Grungy; They were only dark. I probably went through a dark phase and he didn't want dark songs on the plate; He just wanted this classic Dokken [sound with] Tons of harmonies, upper … Yada Yada Yada. “

One of the songs on “The sky comes down” Is the above mentioned above “Santa Fe”What was written about it Don'S adopted hometown.

“People always ask me how I ended up here.” Dokken said. “And I told the story of my engineer and producer Bill Palmer. So I literally wrote a song called “Santa Fe”And it's four minutes and 15 seconds. 'From the day I was born in La, I never wanted to go. I had a lot of jobs. I hung around at the Sunset Boulevard. I traveled around the world, always missing at home. 'And I told him that and he took it on a microphone. And I told him my story and I went «, Huh. I can make a song out of it. 'So I did it … and it's a really cool bastard song. It is not a rock song. It is not a country. I can't put my finger on it. “

In relation to the experience of work with Shirley for the first time, Don said: “Kevin Shirley is an amazing engineer. When he started to mix the plate, I was really disappointed. He gave me the first song and I went: “It sounds like” 80s “. And he says:” Well, I thought that was what they wanted. “And I said: 'This ship is sailed, man. I I want a modern record – aggressively, I don't want a pile of Echo. Okay, I understand it. “I said,” Look, I just heard that Iron girl Album. The thing steps into the ass. Just go this direction. 'So he did it. “

And I can honestly say that as someone who – I liked it myself Dokken Growing up and so – I can't imagine any Dokken Fan is disappointed; I really can't. Don Sounds really good. “
